Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Takks over and forgets patients
Terrible experience with this doctor. As other reviews have said he talks over you and he actually forgot about me. He says he will call another office to get results and be right back. Then a medical assistant comes in surprised we are still there. Turns out he went to a meeting and never told us! Terrible experience especially after he kept cutting me off from talking during the appointment. If you’re looking for a doctor for your Pcos or if you’re a woman please don’t go to him.

Extremely unprofessional. I went to one appointment to try and establish care as a new patient. He acted as if I knew nothing about my own history (which I brought all relevant documents), refused to listen to me without the "proper history" (what does that even mean?), refused to order routine thyroid labs, and said that he couldn't do anything for me today because he's "not a magician". The only upside was getting 2 weeks worth of the medication I'm currently on and allowing me some time to find a different doctor.

Do not waist your time with this doctor. I was with him for few months and its been only negative experience. He misdiagnosed me and totally scared me at my first visit. Then when I googled everything and called him to discuss he didn't even remember he gave this diagnosis to me. Afterwords he sent wrong prescription to my pharmacy - had to call 10 times to get someone to change it. Every time I had to leave my number and also my pharmacy number. Save your time and nerves and go elsewhere.

Extremely irresponsible and unreliable. I show up as a new patient and his secretary tells me his isn't in the office and they tried to call me. They never asked for my number so when I asked who she called she gave me a random number. She told me to wait around to see another doctor and after an hour the doctor said he didn't want to see me. I asked her why and she shrugged her shoulders. EXTREMELY NASTY. I told her I would not be returning and finding a new doc and she couldn't care less.

When Busta asked me if I ever fractured/broken a bone, I told him I broke my patella (kneecap). He seemed argumentative and tried to convince me that the patella is not a bone! I kept pointing at my kneecap and he slowly backtracked his position. Besides a prescription for bloodwork and a whopping bill, the only thing that was memorable from my visit with Busta was thinking how in the world can someone be a doctor and not know that the kneecap is a bone.
